Technical Sourcing Support

My name is David Cloutman. I am a Web Application Architect and Developer working out of San Francisco California. I specialize in LAMP programming and administration (Linux, Apache, PHP, and MySQL), and the development Web-based front ends using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I got started building Web pages with HTML in 1995, and turned pro in 2000. In 2001 I began Lampfire as my consulting practice.

While technology is an important component of what I do, my core business is managing my relationships with my customers. I strive to be up-front, straightforward, and honest; and when I make mistakes, I take ownership of them. Most of my business comes from clients who have used my services before. However, I am very interested in meeting new people, learning about their businesses, and finding common ground.

I offer two kinds of services to my customers. For customers who have studied a specific issue and have documented exactly what they want, I offer Web development services. For customers who are still trying to figure out what they need, or who they need to implement it, I offer three services around the management of the Web development lifecycle; Project Requirements Analysis, Code Review, and Technical Sourcing Assistance.
